The Survival Fight of JK Monitor: For 16 years, JK Monitor has chronicled Jammu and Kashmir with integrity. Since 2010, I have steered its newsroom alongside our visionary Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan (IIT Kharagpur alumnus, University of Maryland Ph.D.). His tragic demise in October 2026 left a severe financial and operational vacuum. Without urgent support, our 24/7 news portal risks permanently shutting down after November 2026, remaining only as a static digital archive.

JAMMU: Sat Sharma, J&K BJP President & Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha), along with Ashok Koul, General Secretary (Organization) addressed an organizational meeting of senior party leaders at the party headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.

The meeting witnessed the participation of senior leaders including Vice-Presidents, General Secretaries, and other office bearers, and focused on reviewing ongoing organizational programmes while strategizing for upcoming party activities across Jammu & Kashmir.

Sat Sharma emphasized the need to further strengthen grassroots-level engagement through sustained organizational efforts such as booth-level outreach, “Gaon Chalo/Basti Chalo Abhiyan,” and public welfare-oriented initiatives. He highlighted that the BJP remains committed to connecting with every section of society through its service and ideological clarity.

Focusing particularly on women empowerment, Sat Sharma spoke in detail about the historic Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam 2023, stating that it reflects the unwavering commitment of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP towards ensuring greater participation of women in governance and nation-building. He remarked that the legislation is a milestone in realizing the vision of “women-led development,” which is central to India’s growth story.

Sat Sharma asked the Mahila Morcha leaders and women representatives of the party to take this message to every household and ensure that women across all sections are made aware of the transformative steps taken by the government for their empowerment.

Ashok Koul, in his address, stressed the importance of organizational discipline, coordination, and effective implementation of party programmes. He called upon party leaders to actively engage in forthcoming programmes, ensuring maximum outreach and public participation.

Highlighting the role of women in strengthening the party structure, Ashok Koul said that women workers are the backbone of the BJP’s grassroots network. He encouraged Mahila leaders to intensify their efforts, mobilize women at the local level, and play a proactive role in disseminating the achievements of the government.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
